Build Guide

Here's a build I used to clear Belial in under 45 seconds both solo and in a 2 man (so far). Its based on the standard Fire UE with some changes specific to the challenge.


The main cause for me to change up the build was that Belial can't be slowed, so Thrill of the Hunt, Cull the Weak and Bane of the Trapped don't work. I also didn't like using a generator just to keep up the F+R buff, as in such a short time (especially when the cutscene takes like 15 seconds :| ) every seconds not doing dps is hurting you.


Main Variations from Standard UE:

  • Dropped F+R for EW. The reason is that you now don't need to worry about using a generator to keep the F+R buff up, which in a challenge with such a small time window I thought was an issue. This also lets you use a Stone of Jordan for the extra fire and elite damage.
  • Dropping EF:Focus for Caltrops:Bait the Trap. Since we are using EW there is no need for a generator, and since you can be stationary for most of this fight you can stand in your caltrop for 10% crit chance
  • Dropping Bane of the Trapped and running Stricken, Powerful (make sure to kill an elite before the fight) and Zeiz.
  • Dropping Cull the Weak and Thrill of the Hunt. Running Ballistics, Steady Aim, Ambush and now Single Out, which is a nice boost to crit chance on the boss. This combined with Caltrops should put you at up to 90-95% crit chance on the boss (depending on gear).
  • Dropping CoE for RoRG in the cube which lets you wear Cindercoat and cube Magefists for the additional fire damage and resource cost reduction UPDATE: Cubing Cindercoat and wearing Magefists is slightly more damage as you get the Discipline roll on the UE Chest. This is essential for spamming Multishot as there is no generator in this build. You can cube Cindercoat and wear Magefists, but the inverse is more optimal.
